TrackHour is time-tracking software designed for French freelancers and agencies. Its value proposition can be summed up in one sentence: track hours by project and bill clients seamlessly. Its key selling point is its status as a French alternative to Toggl—featuring hosting and an interface entirely in French, which is highlighted as an advantage over US-based tools.
It operates via a four-step workflow: create a team and invite collaborators via email; add clients and create as many projects as needed (assigning a distinct color to each); start the timer on a task—which keeps running in the background even if the browser is closed; and finally, view reports by client, project, or team and export them as PDFs for direct invoicing.
Pricing comes in three tiers: Free (€0; 1 user, 10 projects, 5 clients), Premium (€4.50/month; aimed at solopreneurs; 20 projects, 15 clients, 2 members, plus PDF export), and Business (€15/month; aimed at agencies; unlimited projects, clients, and members, plus PDF export). The marketing pitch emphasizes that no credit card is required to get started and that the service is free for up to 10 projects.

Hi everyone,
Full disclosure first: I’m the creator of the tool I’m talking about, so please let me know if this is off-topic here—I’m happy to take it down.
The problem we wanted to solve: remote work has stripped away all the spontaneity of the office. Video calls are rigid and exhausting, and we never just "bump into" each other anymore. Tools like Gather.town (http://Gather.town) solve this... but they’re in English, the data is hosted in the US, and the per-user cost adds up fast.
So, we built Webinti Town: a pixel-art virtual office where everyone moves their own avatar around. When you get close to a colleague, audio and video activate automatically (and fade out as you move away), just like in real life. There are offices, a conference room, a whiteboard, a Kanban board, and even a go-kart track for breaks.
How we wanted to do things differently from Gather:
🇫🇷 French interface and support, with data hosted in France (GDPR compliant).
💸 Fixed monthly fee—no skyrocketing per-user bills.
🤖 The feature I’m proudest of: it’s populated by AI. An AI receptionist greets visitors, and the host can actually "hire" AI agents (for support, training, coaching, etc.) that set up on the map and respond to people walking by.
It’s free for up to 3 people and requires no installation (it runs right in your browser). To see what it looks like: town.webinti.com (http://town.webinti.com).
I’m mainly looking for honest feedback: do you miss this kind of tool when working remotely, or not at all? What would make you adopt it (or put you off)? I’ll answer everything in the comments. 🙏
